| #5 TottenÂ’s not making much sense. Gaddafi made his peace with the West a decade ago. If Gaddafi is turfed because of Western support for the rebels, itÂ’s a sign to anti-Western dictators everywhere that peace with the West is a chimera, a poisoned chalice. |

| #3 A Qaddafi win (which may only be a temporary win given Muammar's age,69,his mental state and possible enemies within his clique) will be awful for the anti Qaddafi folks in Libya but the US strategic position will be no worse or only marginally worse than it is now. Muammar's buddy Hugo Chavez has been pretty quiet since mid feb btw. |

| #2 Pol Pot "won." Some say 5-7 million people were said to have died at his hands. Nobody said much then. Nobody will say much now. |
